This year's theme of the World Telecommunication & Information Society Day calls for strengthening digital lifelines for a resilient and connected world.
But can we truly build a resilient and connected world while internet shutdowns remain unchecked?

BGP routing data tells the story: #Iran's #internet footprint has visibly shrunk between the January protests shutdown and today's ongoing blackout — now the longest nationwide internet shutdown ever recorded.
The infrastructure is being dismantled in plain sight. #IranInternetStatus #InternetShutdown #Iranwar #keepiton

@inex ❌ In Russia, the classifieds platform Avito has blocked a woman’s account after she used it for messaging during internet outages.
The service explained that the listing titled “Strict cat for friends” violated its rules because it did not offer a real product or service. The woman created it solely as a chat workaround, since Avito is included in the “whitelisted” resources accessible during shutdowns.
ℹ️ Residents of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region have been reporting for the third consecutive day a lack of mobile internet and problems accessing websites and banking services, according to “Current Time.” The “whitelists” have been tested since summer 2025, but even they remain unstable.

"Internet shutdowns in Africa: A human rights and democratic crisis
Internet shutdowns have become a growing threat to Africa’s democracy. They are an increasingly common part of the authoritarian toolkit used by governments to control information and suppress dissent. Here’s why you should care."

Internet in Iran may appear to be “back online”, but it is far from fully restored.
These graphs aggregate ~65 independent measurements and show network behavior before, during, and after the #Iran #InternetShutdown. While connectivity has resumed, deliberate degradation of quality of service remains clearly visible in sustained latency spikes and rhythmic instability.

We're helping people in Iran get set up with #Matrix.
So far we've supported several servers (directly and indirectly) so the community has infrastructure nobody can just switch off.
Right now we're preparing for the next internet shutdown. Offline plans and local comms aren't nice-to-haves they're literally survival tools.
We prepare before the blackout, not after.With hope for #freedom in Iran.

So, I’m thinking about some kind of solution to selfhost or implement that would allow us to receive things like RSS feeds or news from Telegram channels. To be clear, when they shut down international traffic, there is no way to connect using normal protocols such as HTTP, SMTP, etc.
Do you have any ideas about this? -
During the complete internet blackout in Iran, one of the most important things we missed was a way to receive news. The blockage still continues, it’s a little easier now to access the international internet, but it is still whitelisted.

Internet in #Iran seems to get back online.
So for people in Iran this is a chance to install the text-only newsreader DUTA that should work even in #Internetshutdown & #netblock

Wer Menschen im #Iran oder anderswo, die keinen freien Zugang zum #Internet haben, unterstützen möchte und #Snowflake noch nicht hat, jetzt ist ein guter Zeitpunkt, das zu installieren. Geht einfach und schnell, in Zeiten gelegentlicher politischer Hilflosigkeit tut es ganz gut zu wissen, dass da irgendwo in der Welt heute viele Menschen doch noch Zensur und Abschaltungen umgehen können. #Internetshutdown

"Israel has long been engaged in influence operations against Iran, which the Israeli government views as an existential threat, analysts said.
A report published in October by the Citizen Lab, a cybersecurity watchdog group, concluded that a network of more than 50 inauthentic profiles on X, the social media platform, was organized by the Israeli government or a closely supervised subcontractor. The network, according to researchers, started ramping up its use of artificial intelligence early last year to spread narratives encouraging Iranians to revolt.
After a wave of protests in 2022, the National Iranian American Council commissioned a report about state-sponsored manipulation of social media. The report found “a coordinated campaign to manipulate social media algorithms and overwhelm targeted voices with disinformation, smears and threats” by using a large network of inauthentic accounts. The researchers said much of the activity then was most likely attributable to the Israeli government.
The online activity surrounding the current protests extends a yearslong “competition for who is going to be the dominant voice in the diaspora,” Jamal Abdi, the council’s president, said.
Golden Owl, a digital threat intelligence company in Spain, reported that it had uncovered two Iranian campaigns on X with more than 4,700 accounts pushing pro-government content."https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/16/business/iran-internet-blackout-protests-disinformation.html
